Show CAMP SHOWS PROSPECTS IN SEABRIGHT TOURNEY Says McLoughlin Is Most Consistent of Three V Strong Bidders for Honors V THE THE E SEABRIGHT tournament as was anticipated b by those who ho had folI followed fol- fol I lowed Behrs Behr's play the last during month threw a new light over the tennis situation Behr's Behrs defeat t of McLoughlin Mclaughlin explained ined also in a co considerable measure the At style le of the Calif game which has been commented upon for the last few weeks It wn wai manifest at Long Longwood that McLoughlin wa was en endeavoring en- en dea oring to develop hiG hip game and make it better rounded out and the way in which he handled himself at that tournament showed that he was well aware of f the fact that every Opponent now that his greatest strength is his hia deadly smashing game hence before meeting Williams at Longwood he be halt had been working hard on a back court comi passing game and he crowded such euch speed into it as to turn the he tables on the man who beat bent him for the I championship last year But there was as still more in McLoughlin McL ns n's Js method for he realized that Behr would also endeavor to maneuver out him in similar I fashion and md this proved true V Moreover Behr was SI BO so distinctly at atthe atthe atthe the top of or his game that although the Californian nl wa was a fa favored at very large odds Behr def him 8 6 7 5 7 5 7 three straight sets sets only to lose to WillIams Will- Will lams Iams later after a 1 most ost propitious start Just what bearing this will have on the championship Is one matter but It certainly puts the stamp of ot approval upon the chelce With the Davis cup committee In selecting Behr for the team last year ear On the other hand It makes one ono sit up and wonder r what that combination of putting Behr Dehr with McLoughlin Mc Mc- Ic- Ic Loughlin In the doubles doubles' last year might not have brought out for us V rnO return to the tue championship no noone noone T To I one will believe until that Is actually actually ac- ac played that McLoughlin McLaughlin is III not simply Imply working to develop his deep court game and when the pinch really comes will go back to hi his old smash and ferocious service keeping hi his back court methods as an assistance Now No had Bohr Boht gone on through In his match against Williams at the tho same pace that he set lIet against McLoughlin McLoughlin Mc Mc- Loughlin there Is no doubt that In Interest Interest interest In- In terest In the national would have been diminished In Instead toad of at increased The same would have been true had McLoughlin vanquished Behr As AI It has bus turned out the record puts Williams McLoughlin and Behr Bohr all on an equality equal equal- ity and really each one as likely to win as either of the other two The general feeling in the back of the mind Is that any anyone one of ot the three throe who strikes the top of oC his game will win In but that McLoughlin has the greater grenter cy That he has b been en trying to widen the scope of ot his game ame is evident Ithe If It he has intentionally let his natural smashing game alone for tor the main purpose purpose pur pur- pose POSO of ot forcing himself to perfect his back court game and can come back to his own smashing when he wishes to and can thus vary his game then he should hould be bo the strongest of the three Both Williams and Behr are when off their game very bad indeed but when whon going at top pace ace are aro wonderfully bril bril- Williams in the cup matches last year and Behr in his first set against Williams at Seabright after atter leading lending at four tour love showed the evidence of ot this to an extent never s seen en In the play of McLoughlin Altogether conditions never nevor
